McDonald's Corp.

McDonald's Corp. is among the world’s largest Restaurants sector businesses in the world.  McDonald's Corp.’s employees generate $3.681B in profits on $22.137B of revenue.  Global output in the Restaurants business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but McDonald's Corp. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Restaurants segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

McDonald's Corp.’s ticker symbol MCD has recently been trading near $51.17 a share.  The McDonald's Corp. corporate headquarters in Oak Brook IL predicts Restaurants profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $61.091B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 1.37, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves higher, McDonald's Corp. moves more aggressively.
